I wonder how easy it would be to put one of these engines and sequential
transmission in a Spridget... with an RX7 axle to take the power. Has
this ever been done? I know of Lotus Seven clones with Hayabusa 1300cc
engines (similar kind of weight and power to the R-10), but of course
the Seven is lighter than the Sprite and therefore liklely better suited
to the bike engines.
Yeah, I know, stupid idea - but I have nothing better to think about
this morning! 8-)
NON LBC- my father in law has a 1975 Bricklin. I remember someone on
this list was/is a Bricklin owner? I would like some info. Please email
me off line at hobbycars@cox.net
